Protect What Matters Most
When you choose to store personal items, you’re doing more than finding extra space—you’re entrusting a facility with belongings that often hold significant value, whether sentimental or financial. From cherished family heirlooms to seasonal decorations, each item deserves the utmost care and security.
I understand how important it is to feel confident about the safety of your stored items. That’s why this guide highlights the essential security features you should look for in a personal storage facility. With the right security measures in place, you can store your belongings with total peace of mind.
What Makes a Secure Personal Storage Facility?
A secure storage facility should prioritise the safety of your items as much as you do. This means investing in advanced security systems, maintaining a clean and well-organized environment, and offering features designed to keep your belongings protected from theft and damage.
At Newbury Self Store, we’ve implemented a range of measures to ensure your items are safe, so let’s dive into the key features you should look for when choosing a storage facility.
Key Security Features to Look For
24/7 Surveillance Systems
Round-the-clock monitoring is a cornerstone of any secure storage facility. Look for locations equipped with CCTV cameras that provide constant surveillance, ensuring every corner of the property is covered.
High-definition video recording is particularly useful—it not only deters unauthorized access but also serves as evidence if needed. When you store with us, you can trust that your unit is monitored day and night.
Controlled Access Systems
Gone are the days of relying solely on traditional padlocks. A modern facility should have controlled access systems, such as PIN codes or key cards, to ensure that only authorized individuals can enter.
At Newbury Self Store, we’ve designed our access systems to provide both security and convenience, so you can access your unit without worrying about unauthorized entry. This approach creates a safer environment for everyone using the facility.
Physical Security Measures
The quality of the storage units themselves is just as important. Units should have strong doors, tamper-proof locks, and a robust construction to withstand potential break-ins. Perimeter fencing and gated access are additional layers of protection that make a facility more secure.
For instance, our steel-constructed units are designed to offer maximum protection, giving you peace of mind that your belongings are safe.
On-Site Staff Presence
A secure facility should also have staff available on-site to monitor activity, answer questions, and respond to concerns promptly. Having a human presence not only enhances security but also provides reassurance to customers.
We believe that having friendly and knowledgeable staff on hand makes a real difference, which is why our team is always here to help.
Additional Security Considerations
Insurance Options
Even the most secure facilities can’t prevent every possible scenario, which is why insurance is essential. Look for a facility that offers storage insurance or supports policies that protect against loss or damage.
We understand the importance of safeguarding your items, and we’re happy to discuss options to ensure your belongings are fully protected.
Fire and Climate Protection
Fire safety features like smoke detectors and extinguishers are a must, as are climate-controlled units for items sensitive to temperature or humidity. Whether it’s antique furniture or family photographs, these measures prevent environmental damage and keep your belongings in excellent condition.
Customer Reviews and Reputation
Take some time to explore feedback from other customers. Positive reviews highlighting a facility’s security measures are a strong indicator of trustworthiness. At Newbury Self Store, we’re proud of the relationships we’ve built with our customers, and their confidence in our services speaks volumes about our commitment to safety.
